The White House
"Sir there are two soldiers who want to see you" said a female voice through a microphone. "Let them in" said the President, Arnold Timberwall, who had recently been elected for his motivational speeches at the stands.
In a second two Latino Soldiers walk in with nervous expressions on their faces.
"Ah Commander Anthony Lopez and Second in Command Maria Lopez. Now what is it you need?"
"Please Mr. President, it's Tony" he said "And we would like to make a request" A hint of nervous was evident in his voice.
"Why of course Tony" The President responded as he placed his hands on the desk "What request do you seek?"
"See Mr. President we have a son at home at we really don't want to leave him alone everyday. So we came in here for an early retirement" He explained hoping the President could understand the situation. He handed them a picture to help the request.
"Well I have to say he is an adorable little kid," he started while smiling "But I'm afraid that won't be possible. Your contract does go on for ten years and you've only got seven to burn. I'm sure you guys can wait that long, right?"
"Well, that's the thing. I don't want to follow in my father's footsteps. Allowing his job to interfere with his home life, he never spent time with me or my mother because of the office" said Tony trying to get an approval.
"Tony I just said no. You should've thought about that before enlisting in the army but as of right now your job is more important at the moment, drill that into your damn head."
Then Maria enters the conversation " Mr. President, with all do respect our so is seven years old. If we don't spend more time with him then what kind of parents does that makes us? I mean wouldn't you do the same for your family?"
Timberwall's face turned red when she started to bring his family into this "Enough! Both of you have a contract that clearly states early retirement is not an option. Both of you cannot-and will not retire." he shouted with rage. "Get back to work before the both of you get demoted."
"Go ahead" Started Tony "Demote us, because it doesn't really matter anymore. You say we can't but guess what we just did" he finished leaving his record on Timberwall's desk showing he really didn't care. His wife did the same showing her angry expression.
The president sat there unable to process what just took place 'I will not stand for this shit'
He picked the phone, dialing a number "Hello" said a bored voice on the other side of the line. "Hello General, It's me The President" said Timberwall.
"Oh Mr. President apologies. Wife keeps me up at home so I'm just tired, is there anything I can help you with?" He asked "I understand General, and yes there is actually. Send me the best twelve soldiers you have. I have a special assignment for them" he said with an evil grin.
